Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"We like that it has a free version available."
"This software is easy to use."
"It's free. There is no additional cost. It's part of Windows."
"We are a Microsoft shop, and Defender is a Microsoft solution that provides some security at a reasonable cost."
"The investigation aspect is the most useful. It's user friendly and has a good user interface."
"The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft."
"It's pretty easy to scale."
"Automatic scanning and cleaning of viruses is the best and most valuable feature helping this tool to thrive. If any viruses are found, they are cleaned automatically."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Detections could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not stable."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"The product development team makes frequent changes that affect the stability of the solution."
"There could be an increase in security for the solution."
"The management console is something that can be improved."
"They should bring back the feature of a dedicated proxy device for communication to the cloud. As of now, all the agents are required to send the logs directly to the cloud. There should be a solution where you can put a proxy and all the logs are consolidated, like a forwarder."
"Notifications are always popping up — I hate that."
"With increase of cyber threats and cybersecurity issues, I would recommend that the product be developed like an AI product with more features which can counter any threat in the coming eras."
"This solution is not secure, which is why I have moved to Linux."
"It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop."
